Sustainable quality

Making our dream of economic, social and environmental sustainability a reality.

Excellence can only be achieved through sustainability, founded on shared values, respecting people and the environment. A product is excellent only when it is sustainable too. The illy mission: to combine quality and sustainability in a unique fusion to reach a sustainable quality.

QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY

Our recipe for excellence

Our idea of sustainability relies on three key factors.
1. Economic sustainability achieved by developing a shared value, from farmer to consumer;
2. Social sustainability based on the concept of individual growth and self-fulfillment;
3. Environmental sustainability rooted in protection of our habitat.
